Count Don Jr. was tired. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Physically and mentally exhausted.

Since the beginning of the army in October, to the end of November and the beginning of December, two full months have passed, although it is not a long time, and it is not boring to cut people every day, but Count Tang has begun to feel homesick.

He missed his Desmond, his industrious and simple people, his hard-working students, the clovers that spread all over the mountains, the cattle and sheep basking in the sun, the bees toiling in the clovers, the smooth roads, and his large plush bed, and his large clean and spacious bathroom.

Well, maybe the latter two are the real reasons.

War can really change a person, if you compare the current Count Tang with the previous one, the change is too great, no bathing or brushing of teeth, although there is a horse, but every day is still a difficult journey, and the body begins to become stinky and coaxing. Fortunately, Count Tang doesn't grow much beard, otherwise he would really think that he has changed people.

So, homesick, really missed.

"Soldiers! The war is over! We...... Go home! ”

At that time, when Count Xiao Tang and his party returned to the camp under the nervous gaze of all the soldiers, when Count Xiao Tang held up the parchment with the contract signed high, and when Count Xiao Tang shouted this sentence, the crowd was boiling.

"Long live the Earl of Donchester! Long live peace!! ”

Deafening cheers rang out in the barracks and endured. People held up everything in their hands, weapons, bread, wine glasses, laughed loudly, laughed wildly, danced strange dances, and even soldiers fell to their knees and wept bitterly, each expressing his joy in the most extreme way.

The war is over, and I survived.

That alone is worth crying about. Among them, there are some fathers and sons who go into battle together, and brothers go into battle together, who want to survive themselves, but their relatives are already dead, and they can't even stand up under the howling and crying.

Seeing such a scene, even Count Xiao Tang felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, war slaughtered lives, war destroyed everything, so why is there still war in the world?

Because of the interests.

"Earl, you seem to have something on your mind......

That night, because the war was over, there was no need to hurry, and the castle of Dukara was already close at hand, so it was rare that the Irish coalition army had also set up a perfect barracks, and in the luxurious tent belonging to the alliance lord, the little Count Tang stared at the table full of delicacies but had no intention of enjoying it, and the knight of Alcoba, who was keeping vigil for the little Don at the door, really couldn't stand it, so he asked.

"Thoughts? Knights Alcoba, you're right, I do have a 'little' on my mind......"

Little Earl Tang's eyes were confused, but he thought back to the scene of his private conversation with King William this afternoon......

"I hope ...... Well, to be able to get your ballista technology, of course, I know it's harder, but I'm willing to pay some price for it. ”

At that time, when he walked to a remote place, King William said this to Count Don, but Count Don was confused.

Uncle...... This question should belong to the category of business, right? You've been doing business with us for so long, don't you know our rules? You should go directly to Klein, the treasurer, right, the ballista is not really high-tech, you really want to imitate it, and there is no patent law these days, so we can't keep it!

"This question...... Your Royal Highness King William, you should consult with my Treasurer, I am not very good at these things. ”

"That's not going to work! Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the way of life and death, how can they be entrusted to the hands of others? ”

Hearing Count Don say this, King William immediately straightened his face and pointed out Count Tang's mistake, and Count Don, to be honest, he was stunned on the spot.

Eldest brother...... Ah no, uncle, this is the first taboo in interacting with people! Besides, we were still enemies just now, is it appropriate for you to say this now?

"I ask you, are you interested in being King of Ireland?"

Before Earl Don could come to his senses, King William immediately threw out another bomb-like question.

Be a king...... Who wouldn't want to be a king? When Count Xiao Tang just knew that he had crossed over, he also mustered up a lot of thoughts to be a king, but later he was slapped in the face by reality, and he gave up this idea a little bit. Now King William said this, and he hooked up his original idea again.

"I ...... I...... I ......"

"What am I! There is no refreshment at all, when I was just an illegitimate child, I dared to shout to everyone that I wanted to be a duke, and when I became a duke, I dared to say that I wanted to be a king, men have dreams, what is there to be ashamed of! ”

At that time, King William was teaching Count Don like he was teaching his grandson, and Count Don could do nothing but make promises.

This is not because Count Don Jr. is afraid of King William, a ruler like King William, who has a million lives in his hands, sounds domineering, but he is not even as good as a future mayor, and Count Don Jr. sees the chairman every day - although it is on TV, how can he coax such a guy.

However, King William's gesture reminded him of the same serious father he had never seen for a long time and never had the opportunity to see again, and it was precisely because of this that he was so indulgent to King William, because in this world, no one would teach him such a lesson.

"You are young, and you are talented, and you have enough money and prestige that no one would believe a man like you if he did not want to be a king. And now, I support you, I, the King of England supports you as King of Ireland, and with my support, you absolutely don't have to worry about other objections, what do you think? ”

Earl Don Jr...... Alexander.

There is no free lunch in the world, King William is so enthusiastic, it must not be that Lei Feng is possessed suddenly, he definitely has other plans!

"Something else? Of course I have a picture! If you become the king of Ireland, there is a foundation of mutual trust between you and me, and we can sign a permanent non-aggression pact between our two countries, the world is so big, our soldiers are so strong, Great Britain is just a barren and bitter cold land, why waste the lives of soldiers here! ”

The painting of the cake is good, and it seems that King William has learned a lesson.

He climbed from an illegitimate son to a duke and then to a king, and his life experience is enough to write ten legendary novels about the silk counterattack, but in the eyes of the kings and nobles of the European continent, he is still just an upstart.

Born as a Viking, although he converted to God, this was originally a stain, and he was an illegitimate child, except for the Flanders family, who had been linked to him, no one in the whole of Europe could afford him!

What are the other nobles? You have me, I have you, we are all a family, all of them are close marriages, and they should all be arrested and trained in prison now.

This is why, the Earl of Little Tang only needs a letter to hook France and Scotland to attack England at the same time, interests are of course the most important reason, but for this King William, the 'barbarian' who broke the rules of the game, especially the 'barbarian' who snatched the king's position by force, the kings of various countries have long been deeply disgusted.

Therefore, King William needed an ally, an ally who was loyal, would never betray him, and who could give him a considerable boost, and at this time, the Count of Don Jr. came into his sights.

In fact, apart from the Earl of Don Jr., King William could not have found a better candidate! Scotland, France certainly impossible, and the Duke of Connam of Brittany, who had supported him at first, had become increasingly eccentric, as for the Scandinavian Vikings...... Twelve years ago, the king of Norway was killed in a big war, and now the country is still in chaos!

And Count Xiao Tang, even if Count Xiao Tang has many shortcomings, he can't obey him 100%, but the two sides also have a foundation of trust for mutual transactions, and Count Xiao Tang's talent and Count Tang's financial resources, he also sees it in his eyes, and he is definitely not a Dou who can't be helped, until this time, King William made this proposal to Count Xiao Tang.

"And then...... Did you reject him? ”

The reaction of the Alcoba knight was quite strange, and Count Don Jr. thought he would jump in surprise, but in the end, the Alcoba knight was quite calm, even indifferent.

"No, I'm embarrassed to say, but I didn't make up my mind in the end."

Count Don said this, and then he heard the knight of Alcoba breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's fine, Lord Earl, you must not agree to King William's terms, a King of Ireland supported by the English will never last long! You are so gifted that it is only a matter of time before you become king, and you must not give up your future! ”

Well, Count Xiao Tang nodded silently when he heard this, it turned out that there was still such a meaning. The century-old feud between the Saxons and the Celts is still chaotic, even if it is now a Norman who is the king of England, but if the Earl of Don Jr. really became the king of Ireland because of the support of King William, then his ruling base will be greatly reduced, and the throne will not be stable.

At that time, it was somewhat impossible for the Earl of Little Tang to break away from King William's control.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that." Earl Don shook his head, as if he wanted to throw out all those chaotic thoughts: "It's hard to say whether King William will survive this time!" At the moment, these are just a flash in the pan, there is no need to take it too seriously, what I am worried about now is the defeat of the remnants of the army in the castle of Dukala......"

"What do they have to worry about!" The Ocoba knight scoffed and said, "They lost, you won - at least a tie, that's the biggest difference, how dare they be presumptuous in front of you!" If they really dare to be presumptuous......"

The knight stroked the blade with his hand and smiled silently, in this foreign land, occasionally a few dukes and counts died of illness and death because of the inability to adapt to the water and soil, and no one would doubt it.

Those who doubt will be sent to God.

"Knight, you...... Alas! ”

Count Don sighed, how come it has been so long, he has taken the Knights of Alcoba with him for everything, and he has not hidden anything from him, why has he not grown at all, and his mind is still full of fighting and killing?

But he did change, and when he heard the knight say that he wanted to kill, he would never sleep at night again, as before.

That's it, after chatting and farting with the knight for so long, the depression in my heart was finally eliminated, and the little Count Tang had a great appetite, as for the knight of Alcoba, in fact, the knight is quite dutiful, and he is always meticulous when standing guard, let alone coming to eat.

So, due to the slowing down of the march, at noon on the third day, the Count of Don finally arrived at the castle of Dukala and saw Duke Eddard and his party waiting for him.

Because the light cavalry had already come to inform the Duke of Eddard that the Count of Little Tang had 'defeated' King William, they were not in a hurry at all, and the garrison of the castle had dispersed early, and even the great prince of Dehebas, who had not yet been named, had already prepared a banquet and was waiting for the Little Count to attend!

But the little Earl Tang is very happy.

Looking to the left, there are the flattering eyes of the three remaining counts of the Northern Earls Alliance, and to the right, it is the frightened and envious eyes of Duke Eddard, and looking to the middle, there is a lot of meaningless and nutritious nonsense pushed by the eldest prince of Dehebas, which is a complete waste of life and time.

Moreover, this kind of banquet is always indispensable for intrigues, and the belly spears and honey swords of the nobles in the secret are sometimes more annoying than the open battles on the battlefield, and the little Tang Count even feels that he would rather have another war than stay here anymore.

And there is also a large group of stinky noble ladies who come from nowhere who want to climb the high branches, desperately pulling down their corsets and rubbing them on the arm of Count Xiao Tang, eldest sister, let's not talk about your appearance, it's the same when you turn off the lights anyway, but before you get close to me, can you please go take a shower and brush your teeth first, and clean your body before talking?

Completely, completely unbearable, it is simply like a year, the nobles who have survived the catastrophe can't stop at all, and the banquets are held day after day, as if they want to concentrate all the banquets of this life until these few days.

It seems that these nobles are also frightened, life is short, it is better to enjoy it as soon as possible, if you end up with no bones like Earl Connell, then what is the use of saving more money and more fame and prestige?

Therefore, when the fleet sailing from Moe Island arrived, Count Tang was simply in tears, and he was the first to board the ship regardless of the enthusiasm of the other nobles.

"Desmond - I- is back!!"

PS: Let's talk about a few things.

The first one, which is the listing question that someone asked two days ago, as you may know, the starting point has launched a 300,000-word application for the shelf, theoretically, I can put it on the shelf now.

I'm not going to put it on the shelves, though.

As I said at the beginning, this book is just a work of interest, and I don't plan to make money from it, and it is even more unexpected to get the attention of book friends. Therefore, I will work harder to finish writing well, not only to fulfill my dreams, but also to repay the encouragement of my book friends.

And dreams can't be made of money.

It's naïve and ridiculous, but let me be a boy one last time, and leave this last one to persevere.

When the book is almost finished, it will definitely be on the shelves in order to give an explanation to the editor, but I will try to put it off as much as possible...... If anyone still watched it back then.

The second is to recommend a book, "Hanmen Hanlin" written by a friend of mine, he patted his chest and told me that he would finish the book, but now the results are quite dismal. Therefore, I would like to ask you to borrow a face, do not have any collection recommendations, as long as you can click to take a look, and post one in the book review area, it is the greatest support for us.

Thank you.
